Seeking a long-term exchange to Toronto.

We’re starting to seriously consider a move to Toronto and would love to arrange a longer-term home exchange—somewhere between 4 and 12 months—to try out city living before making any big decisions.

We really love Peterborough, but lately we’ve been craving a bigger city. East Riverdale would be our ideal area, although we’re open to other Toronto neighbourhoods too. Our dates are flexible.

We’re two work-from-home professionals and have a small, hypoallergenic dog. Our home is a high-performance straw bale house in Peterborough, in the Kawarthas, close to the lake, parks, trails, and downtown.

This could be a great fit for someone who is thinking about moving out of Toronto, wants to experience life in a smaller city, or simply needs a longer break from the city.

Please reach out if this sounds like something that might work for you.

Long-term reciprocal exchange in Ljubljana – Summer 2027 (open for suggestions for interesting places in Canada, USA, Eastern and Northern Europe, Australia etc.)

We are looking for a long-term reciprocal home exchange (approximately 14 days to two months) during summer 2027.

Our home is a sunny family apartment in a quiet suburban neighbourhood of Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. It has three bedrooms with double beds, a study/working room, living room, kitchen, bathroom, an additional toilet, and a drying/laundry room. It is ideal for families, but of course we are open to all kinds of exchangers. The apartment is about 30 minutes on foot or 5–10 minutes by car from Ljubljana city centre. Ljubljana is a charming, relaxed and very manageable city, with a vibrant cultural life, good food and relatively affordable prices. It is also a great base for exploring the wider region.

We have two cats, who will stay in the apartment and need some basic care, food and affection. So our home is definitely not suitable for people who dislike cats or are afraid of them.

A few words about our philosophy of Home Exchange: our apartment is nice, cosy, sunny and functional, but it is not fancy. There is no swimming pool, no balcony and no private garden. We see Home Exchange primarily as an exchange based on trust, hospitality and mutual respect, rather than as Airbnb with points. We do not charge a cleaning fee. We can provide a parking space and bicycles, and we would also be happy to discuss a reciprocal car exchange if that would make sense for both sides.

So, if you are looking for something particularly luxurious, classy or hotel-like, our place may not be the best match. But if you appreciate a comfortable lived-in family home, cats, trust-based exchange, access to both nature and city life, and a good base for discovering Slovenia and the surrounding region, we would be very happy to hear from you. We are flexible regarding destinations and especially interested in exchanges where both sides could stay for several weeks rather than just a few days.

Hi @martadonosti I doubt there are many people who can afford to give you 220 GP per night for several months. Have you considered reducing the GP to make it possible to achieve your goal?

Another possibility would be to arrange a chain of GP exchanges, finding someone who could check the apartment in between.
I wish you the best of luck with your search! :crossed_fingers:
